Fullscreen via url?

[jloffredo]

Hi. Trying to set up a tablet in kiosk mode to monitor a camera group. I use ?group=.... in the url to get to the camera group. that works great.
But in the view I get the menus, other groups and the detected events. And in the tablet there's no icon to manually go to fullscreen. Only edit the layout.

Is there a way to set fullscreen via the url? or a way to set that group to be fullscreen?

Thanks!

The Fullscreen API requires that the request to enter fullscreen mode must be initiated by a user gesture (a click, tap, or keypress). This is a security measure so that malicious websites can't unexpectedly take over a user's entire screen without their consent.

So going full screen via url is not possible.

If you can mimic a key press somehow with your setup, the f key is set up to call the fullscreen API.

Neither F nor sending document.documentElement.requestFullscreen(); work in mobile view. If I force it to desktop view in chrome in the tablet, fullscreen works. But I'm using Fully Kiosk Browser and desktop mode doesn't work there.

I guess I'll just remove the bars and events containers via JS and that should work well enough.

Thanks!

You can see the browser support for requestFullscreen: https://caniuse.com/?search=requestfullscreen

Thanks. It's odd that in Chrome in my tablet (a version that should work) it works in desktop mode and not in regular view. So it's not a browser issue.
Thanks anyway :)
